Easter Service
Rev. Kathi's Message:


There is no message from Kathi this week.  We are all still in transition, getting to know one another, and establishing new processes.  Kathi and I were speaking about quotes and inspirational sayings earlier this week.  Below is one that Kathi shared with me and is probably meaningful to all of us.
                                      Barb Jennings,
           Communications Committee


Patience with others is Love,
Patience with self is Hope,
Patience with God is Faith.
            - Adel Bestavros

Look for Kathi's Message next week!

You can also share your memories of 25 years over coffee, tea and cake following the service.  Please join us! 


MURDER MYSTERY DINNER FUNDRAISER

As some of you know, we will be sharing in a Murder Mystery fundraising opportunity with Eden United Church, in April.  Two performances will take place and we will be team up with Eden to share the workload - and to share the stage.   We hope to have actors from both congregations take part, so if you are interested in taking to the stage, please send contact information to Jon Dobbin (director) at  [email protected] .  We are looking for a variety of actors whether you are experienced or have never acted before.  If you can memorize lines and are able to move around the stage easily including up and down steps then we would like to hear from you. 
We are having an  information meeting on September 26 at 7:30 pm at Eden United Church.  All are welcome.
Please direct any inquiries to Joanne Hines.

Turkey pies are available for sale on Sunday at a cost of $9 for small and $20 for a large.  You can purchase them in the kitchen after the service.

The group will be cooking on Friday of each week during the fall.  Those involved enjoy the community of working together.  If you can help on some Fridays or even do some preparation at home for the Friday work session e.g. cooking a turkey or preparing the vegetables, we invite you to be part of Loaves & Dishes.  Please contact either Sue Ogilvie (905-820-2387) or Barb Jennings (905-607-1626).  The next Friday session will be Sept 29th.

The number of guests at the Deacon's Cupboard is constantly increasing.
Your donations to the Cupboard are very much appreciated.  Currently there is a need for pure apple and orange juice in either large boxes or juice boxes, peanut butter, and fava beans.  Financial donations are also welcomed so that inventory may be purchased.  Donations may be left at the back of the church.
